Fellow EU tankies, is the war drum being beaten in your country as well? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've noticed that in both Belgium and The Netherlands there has been an increase in war talk lately, saying how we need more military personnel and that we need to be wary of Russia. I've seen some British articles about it too.

Now, I hope it is purely coincidental otherwise I'd have to get worried about EU+UK being complete idiots and preparing for war.

In Denmark the conflict in Russia/Ukraine has resulted in accepting American troops being stationed here, and of course a massive $20 billion USD investment in the military, over the next 10 years. The articles are in Danish, use a translator if you're interested.

Denmark has for at least 70 years always said no to having American troops stationed in our country, so it's quite a big move. Very few political parties have been criticizing it this time around, except for the most left-wing ones (obviously including our very-small communist party).

Germany is discussing reintroducing the military service requirement.

The German defense minister is clearly saying that Germans must prepare for war, not just in the material sense of getting the Bundeswehr into fighting shape but in the socio-political sense of "the government and military can't go to war if the people are against it, and the government damn well wants to go to war so we better get the propaganda rolling."

It's a scary time to be alive.

Well it's not just a coincidence then it seems, because the same talks are happening in other countries. They must have decided something behind the scenes.

I’m not an EU comrade but I wanna comment to help boost as I am super curious about this topic. I especially want to hear from Portuguese comrades about what’s currently going on down there with regards to your question.

This is shown objectively, isn't it? Their budgets are going up.

Yeah I guess. A little voice in my head is telling me that surely they won't be that stupid. But then again they probably are.

The talk is different than the talk at the beginning of the Russian invasion now. Instead of a 'hypothetical' war the focus is now more on preparing for a 'soon to be imminent' war
